	Karen Armstrong, Interpersonal Communications Specialist Karen's years in the corporate field brought a realization that many people live without joy and passion in their lives. Her interest in human behaviour has been life long and Karen has always enriched her positions in customer service, sales and human resources with continuous self development courses. This quest to understand why we do what we do has found expression in the powerful personality system known as the Enneagram. This system, rich with history allows us to explore the motivation behind how we think, feel and act in the world giving great insight into our unconscious habits, both positive and negative. It allows us freedom from these unconscious habits and gives us the ability to express our true nature. As an interpersonal communications specialist, Karen has delivered this program from coast to coast to teens and adults of every age. She works in the corporate and church arena supporting teams to work more effectively with a higher level of understanding of the interpersonal communications as well as providing insight for families and couples to ease the stress that different personalities bring to relationships.
